This week sees Dick Grayson's secret identity exposed in Nightwing #113. But it might not go in the direction some might be expecting. The victim of conspiracy theory layered over conspiracy theory…
With Grayson in hospital under police guard answering questions regarding his involvement in murder, extortion, organised crime and more. And no one inclined to believe anyone about anything, Nightwing taps into an experience running through much of the world right now.
And as he shows in this week's Titans #13, there's a lot of that about right now.
There is one way he could save himself, but the dominos that would fall might threaten anyone with a domino mask. His friends may rally around, but that might not be what Nightwing wants.
As the Batfamily promise to sacrifice their own identity if it means saving Grayson. As Dick Grayson is revealed to be… Heartless.
The biggest false flag of all and Dick Grayson is at the heart of it, as it were. Heartless is Shelton Lyle, a serial killer who preys on unhoused parents in Bludhaven. He uses a gun that fires a claw on a cable which can rip the heart out of a person's chest, and he likes to do it in front of their children. So, not great for Dick Grayson. Or indeed for Nightwing.
Beast Boy is also concerned about mistaken identity, with someone slightly after his own schtick…
Well, it does have a certain shape-shifting morality to it all..
